Responses of Invasive and Native Populations of the Seagrass Halophila stipulacea to Simulated Climate Change [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Climate change fuels invasions of plant species and displacement of local plants. Little is known about the ecophysiological adaptation of the invasive species, and their ability to cope with the changing conditions in their new habitat.

Searching for the competitive ability of the alien seagrass Halophila stipulacea with the autochthonous species Cymodocea nodosa [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 The tropical seagrass Halophila stipulacea (Forsskål) Ascherson, 1867 entered in the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal more than 100 years ago. In coastal-marine ecosystems the spatial niche of H. stipulacea is often overlapped with that of native

Warming Threatens to Propel the Expansion of the Exotic Seagrass Halophila stipulacea [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The spread of exotic species to new areas can be magnified when favored by future climatic conditions. Forecasting future ranges using species distribution models (SDMs) could be improved by considering physiological thresholds, because models solely ...

Structural and physiological effects of chromium uptake in the seagrass Halophila stipulacea
Ecological Indicators, 2021 This work aims to provide insight on the effects of chromium (Cr) uptake in seagrasses at environmentally relevant exposure concentrations; information on this issue can further increase the utility of marine angiosperms as indicators of trace metal ...

Characterization and Comparison of Bacterial Communities of an Invasive and Two Native Caribbean Seagrass Species Sheds Light on the Possible Influence of the Microbiome on Invasive Mechanisms [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Invasive plants, including marine macrophytes, are one of the most important threats to biodiversity by displacing native species and organisms depending on them.
